Ever since vacation, I've been forgetting to update my blog. Must be out of the habit. Anyway, things have been going well this last week. My blisters are healed and my ankle feels fine. Since running 14 on Tuesday I have done an easy 5 miler and a speed workout. I'm in Mt. Vernon this weekend which is where I ran my speed workout. I went to the bikepath to have mile markers easily accessible even though that's not my favorite place to run. I ran 6 miles, a mile warm up, 4 miles at a 7:50 pace, and a mile cooldown. It went pretty well, harder than I thought it would be to hold that pace for 4 miles without a half mile recovery in between each mile.
Besides training, I'm still raising money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. I still need to raise about $900. If you want to help, please go to www.teamintraining.org to donate. Or if you know anyone who would be interested in donating, please let me know and I would love to contact them. Thanks again for all the support!
I run 16 miles tomorrow morning....please pray!

About Me
- Kristen
- Cincinnati, Ohio
- I am a stay at home mother of two girls, Ava-2years old, and Grace-2 months old. I am happily married to my high school sweetheart and I am attempting to run my second marathon. I ran the Flying Pig almost three years ago. I was disappointed in my time and blame it on training on my own, not knowing what I was doing, and the fact that I was unknowingly pregnant when I ran the race. This time around I am training with Team In Training, working with coaches, running with friends, and raising money for cancer research. I am certain this will be a life changing event for me.
